Channel letter lighting system using high output white light emitting diodes

A lighting system, comprising:

• a plurality of lighting units connected to and interconnected by a conductor, wherein each of said lighting units comprises;
• a housing;
• a printed circuit board (PCB) mounted to said housing and having a plurality of light emitting elements, an electrical signal applied to conductor causing said light emitting elements to emit light substantially away from said housing;
• and
• a plurality of additional conductor sections, each of which is associated with a respective one of said lighting units to increase the length of said conductor between adjacent ones of said lighting units.

A lighting system, comprising:

• a plurality of lighting units connected to and interconnected by a conductor, wherein each of said lighting units comprises;
• a printed circuit board (PCB) mounted within a housing, wherein said PCB has a plurality of light emitting elements;
• a plurality of first additional conductor sections, each of which is associated with and extendable from a respective one of said lighting units to increase the length of said conductor between adjacent ones of said lighting units;
• and
• a plurality of second additional conductor sections, wherein at least some of said lighting units are separable into lighting units sections, each of which comprises at least one emitter that emits light in response to said electrical signal, wherein at least some of said separable sections has one of said second additional conductors sections that is extendable from its lighting unit section.
